Re: YMTC: Bluabot "Slinkys" Tetras

If I understand the situation description correctly, then this one is simple. Blue owns the goal. The key is Question 1253, answered on Jan 24. As Blueabot recovers and restores the stack while still in the process of placing their original blue tetra on the stack (i.e. they have not left the stacked tetras in the precarious positions, and the tetras have not fallen to the floor), then they are OK.

Q: Is moving a tetra on a goal from a scored position to an unscored position still on the goal considered removing it? If you inadvertently do this while trying to score your own tetra, can you remedy it by repositioning the moved tetra?
A: If you displace a tetra from a stacked position to a "precarious" position, you have de-scored the tetra and will be penalized "if" you leave the tetra in this position. If you return the tetra to a stacked position in the process of stacking your own tetra, you will not be penalized. If the tetra falls completely off the goal, you will be penalized.
... and the next batter steps up to the plate..
